Coffee table books are some of the most versatile decor pieces you can own. Books allow you to travel, explore, escape, and imagine the life of your dreams. While offering that kind of value, the return on investment for books far outweighs the cost of the book itself.
Using them as decor pieces just adds value to the investment. Plus, you can revisit them time after time for fresh inspiration and retreat.
Stack Coffee Table Books on Side Tables
Adding a stack of coffee table books to a side table adds interest and a feeling of intrigue. Guests visiting your home will wonder what you’re reading and find out what your interests are. This allows for interesting conversations and related topics on shared interests.
Mix it up with artwork
Books are naturally at home on a book shelf or a set of built ins. They can start to feel a bit heavy if left to stand alone. Mixing it up with artwork or decor pieces really allows books to breathe and draws more attention to their titles than when left to their own devices.
Use Coffee Table Books as Wall Art
If you have the space for it, why not lean a few larger scale books from a shelf or mantle as wall art? What easier way to fill a space – plus you get the added advantage of being able to swap things out anytime you like.
Add Height and Drama
My personal favorite way to use books is as a base for other objects. I find layering vases, found objects, candles, and bowls on top of a good book adds a bit of height, grounds the grouping, and inserts drama. If you move frequently, books are easy to move and give you a lot of decorating bang for your buck!
